Things to Do North West

You’ll be hard pressed to be bored on a trip to the North West of England. This warm and friendly region of the UK has plenty going on with a full events calendar, plenty of sightseeing opportunities and top accessible attractions suitable for everyone. It is a fun, cultural and adventurous place to visit, so whether you’re looking for an accessible day out guaranteed to keep the whole family entertained, a romantic get away or a relaxing break, you’ll find a disabled holiday that suits you.

There are plenty of adventure parks, green parkland, shopping options, animal parks and more from the bustling cities to the more rural areas. You can enjoy a glimpse of the region’s history by visiting the many museums that can be found in the cities and towns, look at the architecture, the stately homes and castles that remain from a time before. For anyone who is into their history, you’ll find plenty of disabled friendly places of interest.

If old architecture isn’t really your thing you can still enjoy the other areas of the region, there are many shopping areas to occupy you, from the big centres in Manchester and Liverpool, to the smaller shopping streets of the surrounding towns. These are wheelchair accessible and offer autism-friendly hours amongst other things. If you’re more into a cheerful seaside holiday which is disabled friendly, be sure to head to Blackpool, where you’ll find the famous Blackpool Tower and Promenade, as well as miles of beaches and the Blackpool Illuminations to wow you.

In Chester you have top attractions such as the zoo, as well as landscaped gardens and rambling stately mansions, providing entertainment for every taste and budget, as well as things to do that suit your needs.

The North West is a great place for music lovers, not only is there the vibrant city of Manchester with its rich musical culture, but also Liverpool, the birthplace of the Beatles, as well as a whole host of new, young talent playing shows pretty much every night, you’ll be able to join guided tours and walk the same streets as the Fab Four, culminating in trips to the Cavern Club, where you’ll also be able to take in the sights of the liver birds on the buildings.

Perhaps being in a more rural setting suits you better, in that case, head towards Cumbria, where you’ll find some of the UK’s most beautiful scenery.

The North West boasts countless interesting and beautiful attractions, such as the wonderfully innovative architecture, the historical buildings and the sea front, many of which pride themselves on being as accessible as possible.

Accessibility is something that the venues of the north west take very seriously. You’ll find that the attractions and venues of the city centres are particularly accessible whatever your mobility or ability. There are options for wheelchair access and other mobility aids, as well as provision for the visibly impaired and many of the attractions have hearing loops installed for those that are hard of hearing.

Even the attractions that can be found in the smaller cities and towns, as well as those in the more rural areas offer facilities to make their venues as inclusive as possible. Take a look at the list below to see what best suits you in this vibrant and culturally rich area of the UK.
